When long-time head coach Ron Rivera was fired, new Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper announced he would be putting his stamp on the football side of the organization. Tepper said the team would be hiring new positions on the scouting side while general manager Marty Hurney would help lead the head coaching search. That search ended with Matt Rhule being named the head coach and receiving a staggering 7-year contract. While Tepper has wanted to keep Hurney with Carolina, there has been speculation Hurney might leave to be the Washington Redskins general manger to be reunited with Rivera. If that were to happen, sources say there are three young executives who are on the Panthers' radar as potential general managers: 49ers vice president of player personnel Adam Peters, Titans vice president of player personnel Ryan Cowden and Buffalo Bills director of player personnel Dan Morgan. 

 

Morgan was a Pro Bowl linebacker for the Panthers and was a valuable member of the Seahawks' scouting staff under general manager Jon Schneider before Buffalo hired him a few years ago. Cowden was the assistant director of college scouting for the Panthers before taking the position with Tennessee in 2016. He had worked for Carolina since 2000, climbing the ladder within the organization. Peters has been with the 49ers for the past three seasons after working eight years with the Broncos, topping out as the director of college scouting with Denver. 


League sources say Tepper does not want to lose Hurney, who has a superb track record in the draft and a proven eye for finding talent. However, Tepper and Rhule want to lead Carolina into a new direction as well, so many believe the Panthers will want some young blood under Hurney to help lead the front office going forward. It will be very interesting to see how the front office positions are filled after the 2020 NFL Draft.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
